"I'll give you two contact details. You can decide whether to sell to one company or two."
Feng Ji was also resigned to his fate, and it was only because he had a wide network of connections that he didn't know where to sell the girl's things.
Good things still need to find someone who appreciates them!
After saying this, Feng Ji went into the inner room, and when he came out, he had two rings on his hands.
“This is the token, the white one. Take it to No. 156 Panjiayuan and find Ning San. The green one.” Feng Ji paused for a second. “Take it to Wutong Alley next to Panjiayuan and find Chen Si.”
"Chen Si is slippery and hard to talk to. Ning San is the old friend who gave me the ambergris. I'll give him a call later."
After saying that, he added, “Be careful when you travel far away. The capital is not as wonderful as you imagine. Ambergris is a rare commodity. Don’t flaunt your wealth outside, or you’ll end up getting into trouble.”
Feng Ji spoke these words with heartfelt sincerity, and Fu Wan and Fu Ming nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, we know about this."
After finishing discussing the ambergris, it was getting late, so Fu Wan and Fu Ming said goodbye to Feng Ji and went home.
Feng Ji carefully wrapped up the remaining piece of ambergris on the table and handed it to Fu Wan, saying, "Take this, and remember to come see me again next time!"
He had thought that his time in this small county town would be quite boring, but he never expected that the girl he met by chance would bring him something unexpected every time she came.
"Uncle Feng, please take this one. Don't mind it."
The piece of ambergris that Fu Wan brought out wasn't very big, about the size of half an adult's fist, but it still weighed about half a pound.
Feng Ji refused to accept it and shoved it to Fu Ming, who was standing next to him.
"Don't give me so much work. I'll have to take care of this ambergris for months. Besides, what doesn't your Uncle Feng have? Ambergris is less appealing to me than these shrimp in the bucket, at least they're filling!"
After saying that, he remembered something and, with a serious expression, advised:
"Ambergris can be sold for some money. You young people should use the money to build up your assets so that you'll have security when you get old."
"Don't just keep the money you earn; make it generate more money—that's real skill!"
Feng Ji's words really struck a chord with Fu Wan. Her trip to the capital was precisely to check out the current housing prices there.
Even if you don't live in Beijing, buying a property there to let it appreciate in value is a very good idea.
After all, in later generations, a house in the capital city would cost an astronomical price!
After saying goodbye to Feng Ji, Fu Wan and Fu Ming hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Uncle Niu was dozing off on the tractor when he saw Fu Wan and her brother coming over, and he immediately perked up.
"Ah Wan, Ah Ming, are you going back?"
Fu Wan glanced at her watch; it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Uncle Niu, wait a few minutes, I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things."
Uncle Niu nodded, "We've waited this long, a few more minutes won't make a difference."
However, he split the money Fu Wan gave him with the village committee in half. He could get one yuan out of every two yuan, which was enough to buy more than a pound of meat!
Fu Ming didn't buy anything, so he followed behind Fu Wan carrying things.
Fu Wan first went to the counter to buy some paper and pens, and then bought some milk powder and malted milk powder.
Fu Wan had run out of peach shortbread and milk biscuits at home, so she bought two packs of each, leaving the sales clerks at the counter dumbfounded.
Putting aside the peach shortbread, milk biscuits also cost 1.5 yuan per pound, which is more expensive than meat.
This young girl didn't look like a city person, yet she spent money like water, leaving the sales clerks speechless. Even after Fu Wan and Fu Ming left with their purchases, the clerks were still discussing where this rich girl came from.
After buying the goods, the two got on the tractor. Uncle Niu was also eager to get home, so he drove the tractor faster than usual. In less than an hour, Fu Wan saw the familiar village entrance.
"Mom, my mom and the others are back!"
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were playing kicking a house under a tree with Fu Honghong when they saw Fu Wan get off the tractor, so they cheered and ran to greet her.
Fu Wan paid Uncle Niu three yuan for the tractor fare, but Uncle Niu refused to accept the extra yuan. Fu Ming, being quick-witted, ran inside and brought out two cigarettes, which Uncle Niu then accepted. With one cigarette in each ear, he drove off with a smile.
"Mom, what delicious food did you buy again!"
Fu Ling's eyes were only on the snacks, and the children next to her looked on with envy at the bags and packages in Fu Wan's hands.
Fu Wan simply opened a package of peach shortbread and gave two pieces to Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu.
"Go and share the food with the other children."
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu only had a few close friends among the children. The peach shortbread from the 1980s was very large, enough for several children to share.
As for milk biscuits, they are expensive. If you take them out, people will inevitably think that Fu Wan's family is so rich that they are willing to take out milk biscuits.
As soon as Fu Wan entered the door, she ran into Boss Fu, who had just returned from fishing.
"Ah Wan, you're back. How are you?"
Hearing the commotion, Ye Xiaocui came out from the backyard. "You're finally back! I was worried you'd be too late for dinner!"
After saying that, she saw the large and small bags in Fu Wan and Fu Ming's hands and gave them another lecture.
"Buying things for the kids to study is one thing, but why buy so much food too, like milk powder and biscuits? Did you wash your pockets again?"
Ye Xiaocui spoke very loudly. The neighbors who were watching the commotion outside had just thought that the Fu family was getting richer and richer. But now, hearing Ye Xiaocui's cursing, they knew that the two young people, Fu Wan and Fu Ming, couldn't keep their money.
As soon as Fu Wan saw Ye Xiaocui start her loud attack, she quickly slipped into the house. Fu Ming, who was left behind, also quickly went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Ye Xiaocui rambled on for a while, and only went inside satisfied when she saw that the neighbors outside were no longer looking in her direction.
Upon entering the house, I saw Fu Wan packing her things, while Boss Fu also came in from outside with a bellyful of questions.
"Ah Wan, what did the county say? Can that stuff be exchanged for money?"
Ye Xiaocui looked at her daughter expectantly, and under the bright gazes of her parents, Fu Wan nodded affirmatively.
"It can be exchanged for money, and not only can it be exchanged, but it can be exchanged for a lot of money."
Ye Xiaocui breathed a sigh of relief; as long as she could get the money, that was good enough. Boss Fu had already expected this, and he was even happier now. "I want to have a drink tonight!"
"only……"
But what's wrong with this brat? Why does he only say half of what he means?
Ye Xiaocui instinctively raised her hand to slap her, but then withdrew it when she remembered it was her daughter.
Fu Wan didn't keep them in suspense, after all, her mother's eyes were practically murderous.
"But my elder brother and I have to go to the capital. Uncle Feng in the county can't accept this, so he asked us to go to the capital to take a look."
Going to the capital?!
Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui became worried again.
"The capital is so far away, how will you two get there?"
"Isn't it a bit unsafe, Awan? Maybe we shouldn't sell it and just keep it for now."
Ye Xiaocui was worried; the capital was too far away, and she was really concerned.
Fu Wan comforted her parents, "It's alright. Wealth and fortune are often found in risky ventures. I went through a lot of trouble to get these ambergris. I wouldn't feel at ease if they were just kept at home and not sold."
"I must go to the capital. You all just wait at home for our good news!"
